George Lynch - Mr. Scary

[@chaosmusician]

Total admiration! Warrior, Gunslinger, 'Guitarist of the Roundtable' -- Slays with wit, hashtags and backs it all up by laying down notes with his own sound, tone, vibrato and consummate craftsmanship...So, back to Mr. Scary!

[@hanc37]

Back in the 80's all the greats had their own unique sound, tone, vibrato and consummate craftsmanship.

[@mikemurel1917]

😂

[@murrayc9615]

George Looks awesome. He looks like a master who left the Jedi order to pursue his dream of being a musician

[@virtue696]

Yes, aging gracefully is so much better than trying to hang on to your youth by artificial means that just make you look 10x worse.

[@danadams6477]

Lol. I know, right?!

[@edgarfoerster9831]

Exactly! Lol. He is too! Jedi guitar player.

[@EliBleu]

😄

[@1mmorta1coi1]

Randy Rhoads always said GL was the best 👊💀🍻🚬

[@krissyramsey3934]

Can we get some love please, for the bass player and the drummer? What a kick ass rhythm squad giving it up for George! A truly outstanding trio.

[@deadcell4837]

I noticed, what a great band!

[@GuitarJawn]

Michael Devin is the Bassist but do not know the Drummer unfortunately

[@jonpow4004]

Awsome!

[@FireoftheGreeks]

I was gonna say poor Bass Player is getting a workout but killing it at the same time!

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

If I close my eyes I swear it's Mick Brown & Jeff. Shout out to the bassist and drummer

[@markrobinson8410]

Lynch is a legendary guitarist, i used to see him play in the Hollywood clubs way before dokken, i don't remember what band, back in 1979-80

[@geezberry8889]

maybe Exciter or the Boys

[@vaibanez17]

George Lynch will forever be one of my favorite guitar gods. It's crazy that in the late 70s you couldve seen Lynch, Rhoads, and EVH randomly at some dive bar in LA any weekend.

[@JimiJameson]

George is a complete 5⭐ Wizard! Kudos to the whole band & nice upload YTUser

[@TheArtofGuitar]

If I could just be 1% as cool as George I'd have it made!

[@megajaredx9679]

Your pretty cool man! I've learned from some of your videos

[@paulmccluney705]

I'm 53 years old and still head banging to this!!!!

[@TreyBDrums]

The intro has given me a whole different level of respect. Drummer can't hear George so he gets behind the riff. Lynch never batted an eye. Just paused on the break, caught the drummer. That's experience at the max. And this three piece is the absolute shit. Great

[@jameskroll2581]

I'm learning this on guitar right now. What a lot of folks wouldn't understand is that the track on the album has about 5 layers of guitar. So to make it sound this big with one guitar is quite the feat. Kudos to George. He's lost exactly nothing.

[@darrkstarg]

Not a damn thing.

[@jayusher576]

Agreed

[@TakuraNyagumbo]

Wow! Never really gave this guy that much attention. Time to go on a George Lynch binge!

[@craigcourson9301]

George has always had it!Great hearing him play the old Dokken songs,met him in Tucson Az,wish he would come back and play again,never gets old!

[@sunsetcliffs98]

George absolutely ripping it up. Looks cool and glad he’s aging gracefully. The old rockers that buyout all of the black hair dye at CVS look rediculous.

[@sloshed-rat]

When you own the fact that you'll never be in your 20's again, you never get old. You just get aged like whiskey.

[@michaelr3955]

Black hair Dye? LMFAO🤪

[@stephani1972]

Yes, like Michael Sweet unfortunately. Not a good look. George looks exceptional.

[@gregalon]

He’s always stayed in great shape and it shows in his playing. Still has the quick hands and the sharp musical instincts.

[@spacejockey4746]

Stupid. Staying “in great shape” has nothing to do with “quick hands” and “sharp musical instincts”😂 Shawn Lane and Johnny Hiland were/are proof.

[@anthonylove821]

In great shape? The dude smokes and looks likes he’s 80 lol😂

[@chrisslooter2825]

That LP sounds glorious. It fits his style and genre so well. Great to see him playing a vintage Custom✊

[@michaelskelps7803]

This isn’t even his final form.

[@jaylumley7676]

Damn, with the towel he looks like he just finished his workout at the local YMCA and then decided to come outside and play. I saw him at the Fox in Detroit in 85. He was awesome then and is STILL awesome. His playing has gotten better with age.

[@g.k.dickenson9259]

I 100% Agree!

[@barry6ixty9ine]

Almost 70 but still killing it. I wish I am that cool when I get old

[@patkelley8293]

I love how he would make his guitar sound like a screaming teradactle. Back in 84 we would warm up the Atari 800 and play whatever to Tooth and Nail B side. Record player would just play the same side over and over. George Lynch really stood tall among rock musicians back then.

[@XTREMESAINT]

After 10 years of getting back into playing everyday i can finally say George Lynch has found his voice again!! The past few years have been rough

[@Vin496]

I haven't seen a vid of him in a while, surprised how looks now, but then again I forget how old I am now too. Sounds awesome on that LP.

[@daviddelossantos6075]

Coming back just to say this is still kickass.

[@voskresene]

He's still got it. And I dig that triple P.A.F. Les Paul. It definitely has that Frampton vibe and the tone out of it is pure butter.

[@ronnieredneck9162]

Warriors...all three of them. Met George at a coffee shop I was working at. My high school guitar God walks up to the counter and I bout sh-t my pants. He treated me super nice. Hung out with me, offered to swap recording ideas. Don says he's a jerk but he was really kind and humble with me. He is by far the most alive, and creative guitar god of that era still slinging his axe; extra ordinary.

[@williamholmes9195]

He will always be a great guitarist. Just wish him and Dokken could have weathered the storm. For me, he is what got me into Dokken. His masterful and insane guitar playing. I wish him and the rest of Dokken all the best.

[@srhatfield]

67 years old and still killing it!

[@imarriedabrkfsttaco3737]

Hahahaha! The fk'ng phrase meister strikes again!! Yet another devastating,completely improvised,slippery AF lead break from the absolute master! Thanks for sharing this gem.

[@pel666]

This warms my heart...he is one of the most inspirational guitarists during the 80's to motivate my playing in my teens...also since his sound has always been so technical but so RAW (comparable with Dave Mustain or Chuck Schuldinger having that rough edge). So different from the other high speed virtuosos. He is smart with his pauses, but get's it down so nasty...I love it!

[@Sandra95021]

I always included the overall sound and voice of the singer. I didn't know I could be so mesmerized by guitar solos until I heard George in another band. Now I hear him all the time. Whether in a band with vocals or instrumental. Or if he talks^^, I like to hear that too ;)

[@spacejockey4746]

I’m impressed how he plays this without a whammy bar. And also how he gets an LP Custom to sound like any of his other guitars.

[@Michael-bl4no]

I think a few times he reached for the bar though and oops, playing the Les Paul today! Agree though, sounds great. George is sharp AF.

[@r.gregorysablan9122]

One of the 80’s Rock Icons!

[@EliBleu]

67 yrs young!!!! Dude is an inspiration

[@laitaa]

This is one of my favorite guitar instrumentals from the 80's. (Dokken, Back for the Attack, 1987). This may be obvious; but, guitar instrumentals really work best when they are composed like real songs. Great playing from the band and Mr. Lynch!

[@jenniferw8963]

He is soo good and looks so healthy! Absolutely love it! Blew my socks off! He's even better now at 67 than he was in his 30's :) Amazing performance.

[@stephani1972]

I absolutely L🤍VE the white hair. 🧑🏻‍🦳⚡️ The few I am getting, I would never attempt to cover-I waited for so long, 51 years! Lol. George and his spiky hair was totally unique back in the day and now this white is amazing. So glad he is looking great, feeling great & playing divinely!🙌🏼🎸

[@WhateverItsanOpinion]

I can remember seeing them live in 1987.. I am now 57 years old.. Most of you young guys have no clue all of us knew how to rock.. Most of us listen to new metal also. Hardcore stuff now.

[@SteveRastaCahillconcertnetwork]

George has a serious F’ing sunburn on his left shoulder no? Is that why he’s got the towel draped across his shoulders? This is a F’ing LEGENDARY jam man so glad you caught it for posterity!
